All five Cooper Hawks seen today July 17, 2013

During the heat wave it was nice to see all the Cooper Hawks in the woods. One juvenile was on the ground as I saw him trying to fly. He had a huge meal on the ground. He gave up trying to fly and started to eat. A second juvenile came in with food as well. The third and fourth juveniles were just sitting on a branch. The Female was sitting in the tallest tree just watching all four of them. I could see all five by doing a 360 degree turn.
Very cool.

About Me

I have a passion for photography. I use a Canon 7D with a 400mm lens prime lens. I spend all my free time outside looking for raptors, owls, birds and wildlife. I enjoy watching birds in flight and listening to the calls of them. My favourite sounds are the calls of the red-tail hawk.
I volunteer for the Toronto Wildlife Centre, The Owl Foundation, Coyote Watch Canada. Check out my monthly On the Wild Side articles with Beach Metro News. Please email me comments questions to abrokelman@gmail.com
